Project 3G

[swayd]

Hello All,

I have started a new tank after all of the craziness that has been going on. I had to sell my 180 overnight a few months back due to landlord not being happy with 200G of water in the condo, so it was either we move or get it gone within 24 hours.

Fast forward to today! I had a 3G picotope laying around I was going to give to my niece but figured I would just set it up by the couch as a tiny reef. I have now had it running for 4 weeks, I dumped an entire bottle of Dr. Tims in it. I want to say it is done cycling but I am still keeping an eye on it. I am moving in 4 months so I am not going to dump too much in here but I will be very selective as to what I put in it as space is very limited.

Awesome!
What's your game plan in terms of coral?

 

[LetItReef]

Rics and Duncan or something that can thrive in low flow. The only flow I have is the HOB Aqua Clear 20.

Thank you kind Sir. I've been itching to get back at it and figured if the landlord shows up I can easily throw a box over the 3G and they will never know mwuahahaha

My challenge on this 3g was selecting a light. I went through 3 lamps/lights returned and still deciding if the one I have now will be good

What are your stocking plans other than corals?
Are you think about doing any small inverts?
This is a really cool tank. I am defiantly following

It's hard to find the right light for such a small tank. What light are you running now?

At the moment I don't plan on adding anything other than a snail and 2-3 hermits. I want to keep this as low maintenance as possible.

Thank you!

Eheim but I think it is too much light for the Softie and Duncan. Also, Pom Pom and Sexy shrimps does not seem to like it.
